  1. The balancing act. Redox poise and signalling The Drummond lecture Queen Mary, University of London http://plantcell.lu.se/balancing

  2. New Zealand Dr Muriel Emma Bell (CBE) was awarded the William Gibson Research Scholarship for Medical Women of the British Empire by the Royal Society of Medicine. This enabled her to work for three years with Professor Jack Drummond at University College, London. Australia Australian Academy of Science. Victor Martin Trikojus 1902-1985 went to London, where Trik spent some months with Professor Jack Drummond at University College. This gave him the opportunity of extending his contacts with endocrinologists, as well as getting to know one of the great figures in British nutrition. Wales…. David Hughes, the first Professor and Head of Department of Microbiology at Cardiff (1964-1982) brought back happy memories of the golden past. He also brought the house down with his story of Sir Jack Drummond who coated a haddock with yellow phosphorus to demonstrate to medical students, its "bioluminescence". Trouble was his hands glowed in the darkened lecture theatre more strongly than the fish! David Lloyd, Biotype. The Newsletter of the School of Pure & Applied Biology, University of Wales Cardiff. Volume 6 Issue 2 April 1996

  24. The balancing act. Redox poise and signalling • Transients, enhancement, and redox poise of cyclic electron flow. • Protein phosphorylation and state transitions. • Redox control of gene expression. • Redox signalling and evolution.

  25. Quinone pools: Why is redox poise maintained, apparently by every possible means? • Efficiency. Example - state transitions in oxygenic photosynthesis. • Safety - minimizing single electron transfers to oxygen.

  26. The balancing actPostscript. The Q-cycle, quinone and superoxide anion radicals. The mitochondrial theory of ageing, and the evolution of sex.
